Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The search and assessment of alternative sites was not sufficiently robust, and therefore the significant harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, due to insufficient evidence of a rigorous assessment of alternative sites.
